Beat the Heat F5J Oct-21st Mesa Arizona

We will be holding the "Beat the Heat F5J" F5J Tour event at the Elliot Bowl in Mesa Arizona. This is a 1-day F5J Tour event, and mirrors the monthly F5J contests East Valley Electric Flyers (EVEF) hold at this field each month since May-2014.

Cost for the 1-day event is $15 payable when registering at F3Xvault using the sign-up URL in the next post. You can also pay cash the morning of the event. The pilot's meeting will take place at 08:00 AM Saturday morning, and a hot dog lunch is included with the entry fee.

Contest Details

We will be adhering to standard F5J rules with the following modifications: you may use an Altis V4 or similar controller capable of logging F5J height and terminating motor run time a maximum of 30-seconds after throttle on. You will be permitted to run Altis F5J firmware (does NOT allow motor restart) or run the standard Altis firmware in F5J mode (does allow motor restart). There ARE power lines on one side of the field as well as trees and a fence surrounding the park, so we are allowing emergency power up to increase airplane safety.

You must use the standard firmware settings pictured below that adhere to F5J rules and mark the F5J launch height as "---" if a motor restart is detected. Any motor restart will receive a zero flight score for that round.

All F5J launch heights must be verified on the Altis screen by the timer at the conclusion of each flight or by using the Altis log files.
